We are very thankful to the many thousands of gardeners who have helped us grow our business and have helped to preserve the heirloom varieties that remain today. It is very saddening to look through seed catalogs from the late 1800's and find that only a small percentage of the vegetable seeds are still available today, many of which are flirting with extinction. We all need do our share at helping to preserve the remaining ties to our past. We would like to help contribute to increasing awareness about the plight of losing many of these great old varieties to the newer hybrid seeds offered by "big business giants", by offering to help supply School Garden projects and Community Gardens with a selection of heirloom vegetable seeds.
If your School or Community Garden is interested in participating, please submit the information below. Thanks and we hope with a collaborative effort that many of the heirloom seeds that are still available today, will be around for many future generations.
